'123 Agreement' raised in Iran nuclear talks - Jewish Insider
A so-called “123 Agreement” is being discussed as part of ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations, Jewish Insider reported, citing a source familiar with the talks — a detail later rejected by a spokesperson for US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
The 123 Agreement refers to Section 123 of the US Atomic Energy Act, which establishes the legal framework for peaceful nuclear cooperation between the United States and other countries. It sets out safeguards to prevent nuclear weapons development but does not explicitly require the signatory to give up uranium enrichment, Jewish Insider's report said.
According to the report, the source said that the 123 Agreement is part of the current discussions being led by Witkoff. However, when asked about it, a spokesperson for Witkoff told Jewish Insider: “The sources don’t know what they’re talking about.”
